What about some clutch mods? It sounds like KRX is revving well beyond where the torque band should be. I know my 650 Brute Force makes peak torque much lower in the rpm range than that thing is turning which makes a huge difference in dealing with extra vehicle mass.

@boblaws9851 4 жыл бұрын

@@Gonecheenin Max torque on the KRX is in the 7,000 rpm range. (77 lb/ft) It's just not meant to be a race rig on that type of course. However, it will eat the Talon (and most turbo rigs) alive on the rocks Suspension beats HP when the going gets really rough. Don't believe it? Just check out what Jeremy McGrath did in KOH. He was running 7th overall when he admittedly made a mistake and broke something in the front end. Still ended up 29th overall, even after 1-1/2 hour repair.

@lostvalleyrepairllc 4 жыл бұрын

My biggest concern would be how loud it is at just normal trail cruising speeds. Is it anything like the older teryx? At 35-40mph theres no way to carry a conversion while cruising, also the gear whine in those was terrible.

@@SXSBlog yup just did that about a week ago. Was still to messy to test drive. And now my local dealership is closed. I am a honda fan and have been leaning towards the talon x but the krx was a little more comfortable/roomy compared to the talon and the krx appears to be over built in a good way bigger arms axles diffs and a true locker. But the honda appears to be taking everything you can throw at it. And every one that drives it seems to love it. Looking forward to seeing what every one has to say on the trail ride video. I live in upstate ny most of my riding is on hilly/mountain/ rocky trails.

@scottmoss3410 4 жыл бұрын

Wade Moulton : I am in the same boat as you. I ride in WV exclusively and have narrowed it down between the Talon and the KRX. I keep going back and forth on which I like better. I like the KRX over the Talon if you’re just talking stock out of the dealership. I feel you would immediately have to upgrade the tires on the Talon. KRX just seems beefier.

Yes! I’ve been waiting too see a side by side comparison of these 2 machines. Personally I think the Honda has the all around engine/trans durability over the krx. But in my opinion I think the krx will have better belt life vs the other machines due to its design and Kawasaki is no slouch in the durability game. It would be awesome to see you guys get a new Yamaha X2R! That seems to be a promising machine for trail riding and still usable for work.

The KRX by the way you describe it sounds like the feeling of going from my old rzr 1k to the new turbos. Felt like I could just throw it into corners and hammer down and be good but the turbo you have to play with the throttle or your gonna kiss a tree. Lol Still would have like to have seen the Honda and Kawasaki brands come to the table with turbos/more power! As late as they came into the game I would think that they had a lot of time to have developed a competitive machine.
